Deep dark brown coloured body that has a bit of lighter brown towards the sides, all with a very thick, five to six centimetre tall rich brown head that fades quickly, but leaves a large-bubbled lace on the sides. Aroma of light malts, some coffee, a good deal of molasses and some nutty, rustic qualities near the end, but the sugars and especially roasted malts are the strongest in the nose. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich malty quality with a light dose of vanilla, some subdued coffee notes and a good deal of burnt sugars and a hint of chocolate here, but a bit thin on the end with only the malts showing and a bit of the sugars. Aftertaste shows a light sweetness with a vanilla finish and a good deal of roastiness, but not enough rich and robust flavours with sugars, nuts, earth or coffee here to round out the malts and vanilla up front. Overall, a decent beer with some lighter qualities, which could be nice in the Florida heat, but not showing too much after the initial sip. Good to try and a great name/can, especially for those from out of town, but the beer didn’t hold up as I wanted it to. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits in Lake Buena Vista, Florida on 30-April-2022 for US$4,19 sampled a few days later at my hotel room here in Bonita Springs, Florida on 02-May-2022.

4 pack at home cool can design. Haven’t been overly impressed with these guys in past, this is ok on their better end. Dark pour fine head. Nose is roast chocolate and fig. Tastes light plum, chocolate, roast malt. Thinner palate.
